Penny Slinger’s Journey
The British artist Penny Slinger’s brand of sexual mysticism first ripened in swinging London during the ’60s, and she has been plumbing her body and her subconscious in surreal photo collages, films, and books ever since. Slinger’s new solo show at L.A.’s Blum and Poe gallery offers a look back at her journey—one that has awakened other feminist artists, like her friend Linder Sterling, along the way. “Penny Slinger” is on view through May 24, 2014, at Los Angeles’ Blum and Poe, 2727 S. La Cienega Blvd.
